Topic GV.8-2015"Electric vehicles' enhanced performance and

integration into the transport system and the grid"

Another 7 topics in total called for 2014/2015:

• GV.1-2014 Next generation of competitive Li-ion batteries• GV.2-2014 Optimised & systematic energy management in EV• GV.3-2014 Future NG powertrains & components for cars and vans• GV.4-2014 Hybrid light & heavy duty vehicles• GV.5-2014 Electric two-wheelers & new light vehicle concepts• GV.6-2015 Powertrain control for heavy duty vehicles with optimised emissions• GV.7-2014 Future NG powertrains & components for heavy duty

vehicles


Topic GV.6-2015

Major challenges:

•Reducing real driving emissions and consumption of heavy duty road haulage

•These performances are closely intertwined and linked with the vehicle configuration and operating conditions.

•New means of flexible and global engine and emissions control can optimise the potential utilisation of individual systems.


Proposals should address the following actions:

• Optimise the control of powertrains taking into account specific transportation tasks.

• Exploit on board information provided by navigation systems (i.e. topography and slopes on the chosen route), emission sensors (On Board Diagnosis/On Board Measuring system), engine, after treatment, transmission, electronics and actuators state .

• Integrate with other data such as transport assignment (total weight, vehicle configuration, etc.) and real time traffic and weather conditions.

All performance to be validated through a demonstrator.

Topic GV.6-2015


20

Expected impact:

•The resulting technology should deliver a global optimum for consumption (for both fuel, electric energy and other consumables related to emission control such as urea or ammonia) and noxious emissions on each mission, i.e. :

• A reduction of fuel consumption of at least 20% on the same vehicle with conventional control should be demonstrated comparatively,

• Emissions not exceeding Real Driving Emissions limits set by the established Euro VI procedures.
